It's kinda funny to me... I felt firm about my opinion of what my buddy was doing to his (new to him) '97 F-450, when all along it is ME that needs the education.. I guess I don't know as much as I thought I did when I was concerned about burnig valves..

Another shooting right now at the RNC in Milewauki.. of course they are saying not related to the RNC, just a thug trying to Rob someone..

I was instantly surprised by the lack of security coverage on the grounds, and the slow reaction to the spectators who were yelling and pointing at the shooter. My goodness, if you are watching him through a scope, tag the roof next to him to stir him up. or 1 to the lower leg. screw protocol, stop the A-hole, and kill him when the time is right.. I obviuosly have no experience in law enforcement, or sniping, another slow reaction to an A-hole, much like the Uvalde shooter..

Wow,,What a collection of old gold..

Well i guess i will apologize to my buddy. I told him he was pushing his luck and needed to drag a big magnet behind him. However, he is very abusive to his trucks. Thanks guys.

thanksagain GW.. I bookmarked it.. its bedtime for me, but I will look at it thank you..

7-900ft i guess ,,,, hell i dont know,, just a redneck 25 year old who wants to wave his diesel dick around,, i was just trying to help him from blowing the engine.. like I said... i dont know anything about this diesel engine..

ok,, Thanks GW... I really have no knowledge of this and any other small diesels.. I just see so many youngin's trying to roll coal and spin tires and pull bigger loads than the truck is rated for, and I scatch my head.. I just need to stick to Macks,,,

Guess I need to hit the books. I thought turbo spooling and boost was congruent.. I guess i'm thinking wrong. I guess i wa thinking of making too uch boost and cause high chamber pressure and high heat for the head, pistons and valves..

shouldnt the turbo have back pressure on it to keep it from spooling too high? his 7.3 does not have a CAC..

Thanks GW,, My reaction wasnt good when he said 1450.. I figured I was right, but he looked at our boss man and they made some smug remark and smile at me.. I guess I will just stop trying to help and just wait for the story about engine issues.. I am a Yankee in the South .. Too funny,, Oh, where do I get good door mirror frames for MY KB-7?

so how do you guys feel about pyro temps at 1450 degrees.. I asked him what temps he is running in his '04 duramax, which is also straight piped,, to help me learn about these small diesels. I guess i am ashamed at how little I know about diesels..

she's Crazy,, saw that a few times, and still laugh each time..

OK, well I will tell him that i was wrong with my concern's.. Thanks for the education.. Jojo

I was telling him about the ''Blow torch effect''. I dont want him to kill his new to him truck,

So I have been helping a buddy of mine with questions about his F-450. I have minimal knowledge on that engine. I know they are strong and are good work truck engines.. Well, he got it running good, better than when he bought it. He is 25 years old.. He wants to make a million HP, with it.. I said, just get it to run good, drive it as it is, and work it as it is.. He has a twin axle trailer and a bobcat and a small excavator. He has good skills as an operator.. anyway, He straight piped it anyway.. I told him to be careful, he could burn valves.. He's a Yahoo country boy and will have his 'foot' in at when he goes down the road.. I am trying to advise him to baffle the exhaust. He said to me today that his 'guy' is a diesel guy and brought his scanner to check the truck.. and has done a bunch of these.. So, this is where I have to step back and ask if I am wrong about my opinion on how to keep his 7.3 running for a long time.. 225,000 on it right now, with no knowledge of it's history.. I guess I am checking to see how dumb I am..

He Biden spoke for a few minutes, it was so short you missed it TJC..

there are standard charts for torque specs... just read the top of the bolt and compare it to the chart.. What you have will be in FtLb's and not angular torque.. Metal doesnt lie..

It was so nice to hear from the Klansman.... a whole 6 minutes...

Don't let the Char fool you... It aint burnt.. 195 Degrees ...

mine is homemade and only wood fired. This Damn Yankee tends it and wipes sweat off,, a bunch.. anyway it is a labor of love.. its almost done, 1 more hour or so..

Never toss old plates,, guys like me want them at times.. I need a '48 N.C. tag.. just sayin'..

can you post pics of the issue and such? I have one in y shop, and my knowledge of the END(T) is weak..

Just a little Butt on the smoker.. should be done in 4 hours. Hope you all can find a little joy today, after last night.. Jojo

They only try to kill the good ones in our country. If you have a true message and purpose, and even the solution to U.S.A.. problems, you can bet they will ttry to kill you.. I wonder if ''They'' are from the same group?
